Words betrayed me when I looked into your eyes,
They were in my mind but didn’t reach my tongue,
They were in my heart but couldn’t get out,
They are on the tip of my pen and now they are in my poems.

I want to live before I die,
I want to feel before I get broken and turn into pieces,
I want to know what love means before I learn to hate,
I want to be me before society changes me
into something I don’t want to be.

I picked up a rose because I couldn’t speak my mind.
The most beautiful rose from the rose garden.

Oh, pinky rose go tell her that she is more beautiful than the roses in the rose garden.
Oh, lovely rose go tell her that her smile makes me forget that the words exists.
Oh, shiny rose go tell her that her eyes shine brighter than the sun, melting the ice covering my heart.

I gave her the rose to tell her the truth, that she is the only rose that I need in my rose garden.

I am in a place where I don’t belong
I tried to get out but couldn’t break the cage
Am I too weak or is the cage too strong
Why can’t I be free like the birds in the sky.

I am in a place where I don’t belong
I tried to swim for my freedom but couldn’t break the glass.
Am I too weak or is the glass too strong
Why can’t I be free like the fishes in the ocean.

She dances with her best dress on even when everyone is standing still,
She speaks her mind even when everyone tells her to be quite,
She has a dream even when everyone is looking for a man,
And that doesn’t make her less of a woman.
He cries when he is broken,
He shows his feelings even when everyone is acting tough,
He has a dream even when everyone is looking for a woman,
And that doesn’t make him less of a man.
They sing even when they don’t know the words,
They laugh even when life gets hard,
They love even when the world is full of hate,
Because that doesn’t make them less of a human.

I wasn’t looking for love but it found me.
This was the place where I first saw you,
Now places turning into memories, and memories filling my mind.
Was the nights this long or am I going crazy.
Am I in your head or am I alone, on my own with your smile in front my eyes.
I wasn’t looking for you but you found me.

There is a riot inside my body
My heart against my brain
Fighting over you.
Don’t promise me something you won’t keep
My body can’t take another civil war.
Surrounded by broken promises when all you had to do was to stay
Purple, blue, orange and red these colors of feelings that I won’t be feeling anymore
Because my heart is in flames and my mind is in control.
There is a riot inside my body
A war that no one can win.
